Myron in the Studio
BIO

Myron kind of fell, or perhaps was given a good shove, into the recording world.

As most musicians and bands know, making a good recording of your music is rarely both easy and affordable.

In the early days, most recording of Myron's band was attempted either at home or in the band rehearsal space creatively using minimal gear. The band would go into a “real studio” If they could find the money or win studio time in a competition.

Most recordings were made to sound surprisingly professional using only a rented 12 track (yes there was such a thing), or a borrowed 8 track reel to reel. The band eventually explored syncing an ADAT to the 8 track to achieve an amazing 15 recordable tracks (minus one track for time code!).  The engineering was shared among a few band members, but as time passed and members dropped out, necessity left Myron to assume the primary engineering role.

Myron fell head over heels in love with creating and recording music.  He began expanding his knowledge, skills, and recording equipment.  Soon he was not just recording his own band anymore, but other artists started making arrangements to record and write with him, noting how much they enjoyed the relaxed and creative atmosphere, the professional results, and the fun working environment.  The humble beginnings forced Myron to make sure to get the best possible source sounds, creatively using the best equipment he could afford, and work at achieving the best possible outcome.

This shaped him into a versatile producer, musician, songwriter and engineer, always working to make the next project better than the last.

At the same time, he put himself through college graduating with and Engineering Physics degree, concentrating on waves, optics and acoustics. This has contributed to his technical approach and skills in capturing and creating music.

As a musician, Myron is primarily known as a bass player, but he is also a guitar and keyboard player, and a classically trained pianist.  He has also been known to add a vocal or two when necessary.

“I always wanted to be a drummer, but let’s face it – I suck at it. I know too many excellent drummers.  I love the drums, and I love to observe, study and record what drummers do.  I wish I could do what they do.”

So Myron has spent countless hours honing his skills at drum and percussion programming instead, working with a variety of software and sorting through and creating new samples to get just the right sounds and feel.  The formal music training has been an asset for creating string and orchestral arrangements, and he enjoys combining a variety of instruments in ways to produce fresh sounds.
